Hey there, Paul! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. It's a great day to talk about ghosts and goblins and things that go bump in the night!
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is certainly a must-do. I love the Mickey pumpkin decorations on Main Street, U.S.A., and I still get a chill when the Headless Horseman rides through the park before Mickey's Boo-to-You Halloween parade. Eeeek!
Spending the day in the Magic Kingdom before the party begins is a great idea. Many people skip the Magic Kingdom on party days because of the park's early closing, so crowds are often a bit lighter. Just be sure to pace yourself for your late night of haunting ahead! And don't worry, you don't have to leave and come back into the park for the party. Typically, you'll just pick up a wrist band to show you have party tickets. You can find them at the entrance, as well as other locations around the park, after 4 p.m. Just ask the nearest Cast Member where you can get your wrist bands. They'll be happy to help.
I hope this helps you have a spooky good time at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Paul. Be sure to stop by again if we can answer any more questions.
Have a magical day!
